Nalan Ye-Jue lifted his eyes indifferently. "Put it through."

Principal Zhou of the Royal Academy was one of the research consultants for Nalan Group's intelligent robots.

Before a new generation of robots hit the market, the advice of the consultant team was of vital importance.

Therefore, Nalan Ye-Jue, who rarely took calls from outsiders, made an exception and agreed to take the call from Principal Zhou.

Sure enough, Principal Zhou brought good news this time: "Mr. Nalan, the young person I mentioned last time—she's back!"

Nalan Ye-Jue's indifferent gaze flickered slightly. "Is that the inspector responsible for the final review?"

Principal Zhou: "Yes, Mr. Nalan."

Although the term "inspector" was perhaps not quite fitting to describe her, Principal Zhou was eager to get to the point: "I finally managed to get in touch with her, but her schedule is extremely tight, and it seems many people are begging for her services lately... It might take some time to secure an appointment with her. I wonder if you would be willing to give me a bit more time to arrange it..."

Lu Bing thought to himself: Young Master Di never waits for anyone! What's so special about that inspector that she dares to make Young Master Di wait for her?

However.

Nalan Ye-Jue pondered for a moment. "Fine."

Lu Bing: "..."

Damn, I've been slapped in the face. Young Master Di actually agreed?

Principal Zhou was delighted: "Excellent. I will discuss it with her further and bring her to the group's laboratory as soon as possible to conduct the final round of testing for the new generation of robots. Young Master Di, your decision is truly wise; waiting for her will certainly not disappoint you!"

Nalan Ye-Jue did not commit to a response.

He suddenly changed the subject, asking coolly: "Are there any vacancies in the Medical Department of the Royal Academy this year?"

Principal Zhou was taken aback, tugging at his graying beard: "The Medical Department is full, but the Pharmacy and Theology departments have just dismissed students who were failing, so there is one vacancy in each. What did you have in mind?"

Nalan Ye-Jue: "Reserve a spot for me first."

So, he intended to pull strings to get a transfer student in.

Principal Zhou grew solemn: "No problem. Any student recommended by Mr. Nalan must have outstanding qualifications. No matter which school they are transferring from, we will absolutely welcome them!"

Lu Bing suppressed a laugh with great difficulty: You silly old man, Young Master Di is paving the way for our Little Miss.

There was a high probability that Little Miss would fail her final exams at Imperial University.

If she were expelled from Imperial University, the Royal Academy would be there to take her in.

That was great. Even though that young lady from the Qin Family was to be married into the house, Young Master Di was still leaving a lifeline for Little Miss.

However...

Lu Bing quickly grew worried again: Little Miss's aptitude is so poor, and the Royal Academy's requirements are even stricter and more perverted than Imperial University's. Even if she gets in through connections, I'm afraid she won't last long. As soon as she takes an exam, the truth will come out, and in the end... won't she still be destined to be sent back to the countryside?

Just as he was worrying.

Another call came through.

Lu Bing took one look and his lips twitched.

What kind of wind is blowing today?

The principals of the two most prestigious universities in the empire were both coming to find Young Master Di!

"Young Master Di, Principal Shi of Imperial University is inviting you to view their test results..."

Because the final stage of the Royal Academy's test report could not be submitted in full due to the inspector being out of contact, Nalan Group had simultaneously commissioned the Imperial University Research Institute to conduct parallel testing.

He hadn't expected Imperial University to be so efficient; the results were out so quickly, as if they were straining to outdo the Royal Academy.

Nalan Ye-Jue pressed the mechanism on his wheelchair. "Tell them I'm on my way."

Young Master Di is going in person!

Lu Bing took a deep breath.

Young Master Di had always been low-key and never easily appeared in public; he hadn't even attended the opening ceremony at Imperial University when Little Miss started school.

So... Young Master Di really did place immense importance on this batch of intelligent robots!
